He was born to Charles R. “Dick” Beeman and Muriel Thompson White in an Army hospital in Stuttgart, Germany, and grew up in Upland, CA where he graduated from Upland High School. He lived in Tahoe City, CA until his death.

Blake was a beloved part of North Tahoe’s music community, not only playing in a number of local bands, but mentoring generations of musicians, and providing sound engineering/reinforcement for musicians in venues including the Crystal Bay Club, Concerts at Commons Beach, and Squaw Valley’s Bluesdays. His own band, The BeerGardeners has been a Tahoe favorite for decades.
